💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

There is a student that always shows up late to class, makes a lot of noise and walks all the way to a table at the front of the room. They often have phone interruptions as well. This person is very distracting to you and others in the classroom. What do you do about it?

What was the most interesting question?

You are working the night shift in a hospital, and an animal is supposed to get med # 1 at 9, and med #2 at 12, each getting their next doses every 6 hours. You accidently gave #2 at 9, and now it is 12 (the time that the animal should have gotten #2). What do you do?

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions ▼

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked over SDN just to see what kind of questions to expect. I made sure I was capable of answering them, and especially tried to connect those answers with my experiences. Memorizing what to say is what I did not do. You need to seem authentic in an interview, and having a rigid response prepared won't help. Make sure you can answer it all, relax and get your head in the right place.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The head of my interview committee was one of the coolest people I've ever talked with. This is not a guarantee (I was not impressed by who interviewed me last year). Maybe things were more relaxed since this was my second go-around, but overall it felt extremely relaxed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was at the end of the day, and one of the members of my committee seemed a bit fried. That's the downfall of holding all your interviews across 2 days.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They do a good job letting you know what to expect. One good thing to keep in mind is to put your best face on for every person you talk to.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

There will likely be questions in the interview that SDN will not provide, so look over all your materials and look back at all your experiences. It is much easier and looks better to answer questions with something relevant from your own life.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Work out the system kinks that slowed the process down this year.
